From the blurb, it’s easy to assume this is just a wlw celebrity romance. Don’t get me wrong, it certainly is that but there is also so much more to this story than I was expecting. Some might find this a distraction from the romance but I really enjoyed the additional subplots. From family power dynamics to social media hate to toxic Hollywood culture, there was a lot to cover.

When Sara Silver, fresh off a Golden Globe nomination for what she assumed would be a one time acting gig, is offered a role in Mika Williams new show she’s hesitant. It soon becomes clear that the chemistry just isn’t there with her on-screen girlfriend. But there is chemistry with her co-star, Abby, who as far as everyone knows is straight. Mika Williams has dreamed about making this show her entire life and she’s willing to do everything she can to make it happen. It seems like everything is trying to prevent that from happening. Not the least of which is Sara’s on-screen girlfriend suddenly leaving the show.

This book was hard to put down and it did a perfect job of managing the tension. At times I was angry right along with the characters and other times I was laughing at the dynamic between the different characters. Abby was easily my favorite character and her growth throughout the novel was really well done.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
